The financial services industry is reinventing itself, and consumers’ attitudes toward mobile technology are a big reason why. Since 2010, innovative and fast-moving FinTech companies have poured $50 billion into everything from mobile payments to insurance. These digital disrupters are tapping into the “liquid expectations” of customers who compare banks to the no-friction mobile services and products they receive from other sectors (i.e., Amazon, Uber etc.) – and find banks lacking.

Beyond the Basics

Leading banking organizations have partnered with Vox Mobile to reduce the physical space of the traditional branch model – taking banking services to where the people are. They do this by arming a new mobile workforce with tablets in hand to serve customers in airports, grocery stores, office buildings, etc. With the ability for consumers to shop for loans and receive financial planning services online, Vox Mobile is also helping financial services organizations plan and manage IT architectures that must interact with anyone, anywhere via mobile B2C, B2B and BYOD connections – in a highly secure environment.

Vox Mobile is on top of exciting mobility trends helping innovation-minded financial services companies achieve impressive new ways to generate new sources of revenue and engage customers through a wide range of channels.

If you’re reading this blog, then you must be at least a little curious about what mobility can mean for your business, so let’s help you understand how Managed Mobility Services (MMS) can enhance your business opportunities — not only to survive, but thrive.

Why outsource mobility management? There are many answers to offer, some that you’ve heard ad nauseam (“it’s cheaper”, “we’re the experts”, or “mobility is not what you’re best at doing”) and others you may not have considered (“separating yourself from other companies”, “having a mobility subject matter expert at your beck and call”, and “affords you the ability to implement new technology quickly”).

IT outsourcing goes through phases like fashion. Some will swear by outsourcing, while others remain certain that insourcing is the only way to go, but the prevailing winds shift year by year. For most of IT services, of course, a learned, experienced professional knows that the answer to the outsourcing question tends to be “it depends.” The context of the current moment and the focus of the organization will change over time and will make one or the other more advisable.
